google tools

I admit, I’ve only recently taken the plunge to install the little code on my site that allows me to use Google webmaster tools. It was in fact a good friend who recommended I take a closer look. I’ had heard of them in the past but forgot all about it again, until a couple of days ago.

To get started, you can visit the Google Webmaster Tools homepage and type the URL of your website. Google will ask you to verify that the site is yours. You can do that in two ways. One is to add a meta tag to your first page and the second is to upload a HTML file via FTP with some code Google provides you with.
